Do North West’s Pierced Ears Bother You?

We know that Kim and Kanye make some questionable decisions (ahem…the “Bound 2″ music video), but should piercing one-year-old North’s ears be added to the list?

Recently, pictures of baby North wearing what appear to be diamond studs have been floating around social media. No word from Mom or Dad yet. But that hasn’t stopped people from criticizing the couple via Twitter.

Seriously? Who cares? I had my ears pierced when I was an infant. I am 35 years old. I pierced my daughter’s ears when she was 4-5 months old. I got them done in my pediatrician’s office. There is no scientific evidence that proves it’s bad. It’s better to do it when they are young. Why do you think so many pediatrician offices have started doing it? When you do multiple diaper changes it’s so easy to clean their ears 2-3 times a day anyway. My daughter never pulled/tugged on her hers. She didn’t even cry during the actual piercing.

I am sure Kim Kardashian is not the only celebrity to pierce her infant daughter’s ears.

A LOT of people myself included get their baby girl’s ear pierced. Everyone just likes to hate anything Kim and Kanye do. Not that I’m a fan of them. But do whatever you think is best for your kid and let everyone else do the same. It’s none of our business.

who cares i wish my parents would have had mine pierced when i was a baby becouse once i was 6 i had it done i was scared to death before having it done and after i would mess with thelm so much they were so infected i had to let thelm grow back and later go back and get thelm repierced. if i would have had it done early on i wouldnt have had to remember going threw that. and what girl doesnt wont her ears pierced ! unless shes a tomboy and they can always be taken out.

Had both my girls’ ears pierced, one at 4 months, the other at 6 months. If they don’t like it when they are older, they can just not wear earrings. So far, my eldest loves having earrings to wear and is upset when she loses one. Neither is scarred for life from having it done.

I do think it’s a matter of personal preference. But I personally had my ears pierced when I was 3 months old and I’m so glad. I got my 2nd piercing done when I was around 13 or 14 and I remember wishing I could forget having to take care of the damned thing.
